Article is an autobiography of a chef. At first glance, the article looks well put together and well sourced, in spite of being authored by the subject of the article himself. On that basis I declined a WP:CSD#G11 nomination to speedy delete it. However, upon further examination, one finds that:

The references consist of (in order):
- A blogspot posting
- a restaurant review with a brief "press release" bio of the chef in small type at the bottom
- a directory listing
- Another blog
- Another blog, or self-published restaurant reviewer, reviewing the restaurant and giving the chef brief mention
- A local restaruant review giving trivial mention to the chef, as is normal in any restaurant review
- The restaurant's own web site
The restaurant this chef works might actually be notable, but notability is not inherited.

The article represents a decent and commendable try at someone trying to use Wikipedia to promote himself while complying with policies and guidelines, but it seems to fall short of Wikipedia:Notability (people). ~Amatulić (talk) 05:10, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing about this person is notable; the fact that he's worked in one restaurant or another does not mean he meets WP:CREATIVE or even basic GNG. I could find nothing that could establish notability either. §FreeRangeFrog 22:12, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
